Patient Timeline Data with Dates for Clinical Oncology

Description

A dataset containing simulated patient timeline data for clinical oncology research, with time variables represented as actual dates. This dataset represents typical patient journeys through cancer treatment, including diagnosis, treatment, response assessment, and outcomes. The data simulates a realistic clinical study where patients enroll over a 6-month period and have varied treatment durations and outcomes.

Usage

patientTimelinesDates

Format

A data frame with 30 rows and 15 variables:

PatientID

Patient identifier, formatted as PT001, PT002, etc.

StartDate

Date. Date at which observation began, varies across patients to represent staggered enrollment

EndDate

Date. Date at which observation ended

BestResponse

Factor with levels: CR (Complete Response), PR (Partial Response), SD (Stable Disease), PD (Progressive Disease), NE (Not Evaluable)

Surgery

Date. Date of surgery, may be before the study enrollment date

TreatmentStart

Date. Date when treatment began

ResponseAssessment

Date. Date of response assessment

Progression

Date. Date of disease progression, NA if no progression

Death

Date. Date of death, NA if patient alive at last follow-up

Risk

Factor with levels: High, Medium, Low. Risk classification for the patient

Age

Numeric. Patient age in years

ECOG

Integer (0-3). ECOG performance status

ResponseDuration

Numeric. Duration of response in days, calculated as Progression - ResponseAssessment

FollowUpDuration

Numeric. Total duration of follow-up in days, from StartDate to EndDate

Note

This is the date-based version of the patientTimelines dataset.

Examples

data(patientTimelinesDates)

# Show staggered entry of patients into the study
hist(as.numeric(patientTimelinesDates$StartDate - min(patientTimelinesDates$StartDate)),
     main = "Patient Enrollment Days from Study Start",
     xlab = "Days")

# Basic swimmer plot with date data
swimmerplot(
  data = patientTimelinesDates,
  patientID = "PatientID",
  start = "StartDate",
  end = "EndDate",
  event = "BestResponse",
  timetype = "datetime",
  timetypedata = "ymd",
  timetypeoutput = "months"
)

# With absolute time display to show the actual enrollment pattern
swimmerplot(
  data = patientTimelinesDates,
  patientID = "PatientID",
  start = "StartDate",
  end = "EndDate",
  event = "BestResponse",
  timetype = "datetime",
  timetypedata = "ymd",
  timetypeoutput = "months",
  startType = "absolute"
)
